Zounds! What if thee be called a bedswerver, a dalcop, or a gillie-wet-foot? Shouldst thou take offense? Pray embark upon English 360, “A Cultural History of the English Language,” and thou wilt know! Or in more modern speech: the history of English is a journey through the intersections of culture, war, politics, fashion, and more than a little bit of finding just the perfect way to insult your enemies. Join us for an adventurous romp through centuries of English language change. T TH 9:30-10:45 am. No previous English course is required! Contact Professor Jennifer Hellwarth (jhellwar@allegheny.edu) for more info.
